Why Make Bags from Paper?
Have you ever heard of \"Shifu\"?
Shifu is a traditional fabric with a history of over 400 years, made in a beautiful factory by the sea in Etajima City, Hiroshima Prefecture.
Our journey in bag-making began when we encountered Shifu and were moved by its history and texture.
Our desire to create a \"one-of-a-kind bag\" has taken shape.
